Mini-Practice
I used to be the yoga equivalent of a gym-rat, going to class as often as I could. Sometimes the class was great, sometimes it was not at all what I needed that day. But at least I felt like I could check yoga off my todo list. Then I had a baby, and 90 minute yoga classes became a distant memory. Life was suddenly lived in smaller increments of time, and I realized that I had to adjust my yoga practice if I was going to have a practice at all.
Enter the mini-practice: 15 minutes of sun salutations during morning nap time, or a few minutes of meditation before bed. Small pockets of time with nothing else to do.
These mini-practices sometimes feel like cheating, but it all adds up. I definitely feel the difference when I have set my intention to include these short yoga sessions in my day. So whether it’s work, kids, or something else that puts constraints on your day, don’t assume that you don’t have time for yoga. A little is always better than nothing 
The Oregon Chai give away is still open! I’ll randomly pick two winners on Friday morning.
Now off to the farmer’s market for some tomatoes!
